Haengam Munye Maru, a cultural and artistic creative space created by Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam, opened on the 23rd.

According to the city, Haengam Munye Maru was renovated from the Haengam Observatory in Jinhae-gu and was established with one basement floor and three above-ground floors.

The first floor features an open creative room accessible to all citizens, while the second and third floors have four creative studios to support the creative activities of resident artists.

Even before its transformation into a cultural and artistic space, this place, known for its exterior reminiscent of the Sydney Opera House in Australia, began operations this month and plans to welcome four resident artists in December.
